Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety and parking provision
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area
What decided it
The lack of substantive evidence regarding management arrangements and parking provision, combined with the likely harmful effects on neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance and on highway safety through inadequate parking, outweighed the benefits of providing specialist housing.
Plan policies cited: Policy SADM11, Policy SP1, Policy SP7, Policy SP9, Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Guidance (2004), Interim Policy for Car Parking Standards and Garage Sizes (2014)
